where are the options in make sdk_config defined

I am about to start development on a project that will be using a pair of nRF52832's to make a low data rate connection between a PC (with a nRF52832 based dongle) and a device (with a nRF52832 based module).

My plan is to use SDK 14.2 as a starting point.  In the nRF5_SDK_14.2.0_17b948a/examples/ble_peripheral/ble_app_2000m/pca10040/s132/armgcc directory is a Makefile that has a target of sdk_config that runs a java based configuration tool.

Are the various options in this configuration tool described somewhere?  I've searched the blog and Q&A sections for some of the settings that seem like they are relevant to the changes I need to make to the ble_app_uart example on which my code is based but haven't found anything useful yet.  I need two high speed UART's so I'm using a pair of SPI-to-UART bridges with SPI0 and SPI1 so I just need to remove the UART hardware code and add the SPI hardware support code.

My concern is that the BLE soft device will require too much time and interfere with handling the UART-via-SPI data.
